Waamuzi 2
1 Malaika wa Bwana akatoka Gilgali, akaenda Bokimu, akasema, “Nimekuleta kutoka Misri, na nimekuleta katika nchi niliyoapa kuwapa baba zako.
And he went up [the] angel of Yahweh from Gilgal to Bokim. And he said I brought up you from Egypt and I brought you into the land which I swore to ancestors your and I said not I will break covenant my with you for ever.
2 Nikasema, 'Sitakuvunja kamwe agano langu na wewe. Usifanye agano na wale wanaoishi katika nchi hii. Ziangushe madhabahu zao. Lakini hukusikiliza sauti yangu. Je! ni nini hiki ulichokifanya?
And you not you must make a covenant to [the] inhabitants of the land this altars their you will pull down! and not you have listened to voice my what? this have you done.
3 Basi sasa nasema, “Sitawafukuza Wakanaani mbele yenu, nao watakuwa miiba kwenu, na miungu yao itakuwa mtego kwa ajili yenu.”
And also I say not I will drive out them from before you and they will become for you sides and gods their they will become for you a snare.
4 Malaika wa Bwana alipowaambia maneno hayo kwa watu wote wa Israeli, watu wakapiga kelele na kulia.
And it was when spoke [the] angel of Yahweh the words these to all [the] people of Israel and they lifted up the people voice their and they wept.
5 Waliita mahali hapo Bokimu. Hapo wakatoa dhabihu kwa Bwana.
And they called [the] name of the place that Bokim and they sacrificed there to Yahweh.
6 Yoshua alipowaruhusu watu waende zao, wana wa Israeli kila mmoja akaenda mahali alipopewa, wakiwa na umiliki wa ardhi yao.
And he sent away Joshua the people and they went [the] people of Israel everyone to own inheritance his to take possession of the land.
7 Watu walimtumikia Bwana wakati wa maisha ya Yoshua na wazee walioendelea baada yake, ni wale waliokuwa wameona matendo yote makuu ya Bwana aliyoyafanya kwa Israeli.
And they served the people Yahweh all [the] days of Joshua and all - [the] days of the old [men] who they made long days after Joshua who they had seen all [the] work of Yahweh great which he had done for Israel.
8 Yoshua mwana wa Nuni, mtumishi wa Bwana, alikufa akiwa na umri wa miaka 110.
And he died Joshua [the] son of Nun [the] servant of Yahweh a son of a hundred and ten years.
9 Wakamzika ndani ya mpaka wa nchi aliyopewa huko Timnath Heresi, katika mlima wa Efraimu, kaskazini mwa Mlima Gaash.
And people buried him in [the] territory of inheritance his in Timnath Heres in [the] hill country of Ephraim from [the] north of [the] mountain of Gaash.
10 Kizazi hicho chote kilikusanyika kwa baba zao. Kizazi kingine kilichofuata baada yao ambao hakikumjua Bwana au kile alichokifanya kwa Israeli.
And also all the generation that they gathered to ancestors its and it arose a generation another after them which not they knew Yahweh and also the work which he had done for Israel.
11 Watu wa Israeli walifanya yaliyo mabaya machoni pa Bwana, nao wakawatumikia Mabaali.
And they did [the] people of Israel the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and they served the Baals.
12 Wakaondoka kwa Bwana, Mungu wa baba zao, aliyewatoa kutoka Misri. Wakaifuata miungu mingine, miungu ya watu waliokuwa karibu nao, nao wakaisujudia. Wakamkasirisha BWANA kwa sababu
And they forsook Yahweh - [the] God of ancestors their who brought out them from [the] land of Egypt and they went after - gods other some of [the] gods of the peoples which [were] around them and they bowed down to them and they provoked to anger Yahweh.
13 waliondoka kwa Bwana na kumwabudu Baal na Maashtoreti.
And they forsook Yahweh and they served the Baal and the Ashtaroth.
14 Hasira ya Bwana ikawaka juu ya Israeli, naye akawapa washambuliaji walioiba mali zao kutoka kwao. Aliwauza kama watumwa waliofanyika kwa nguvu za maadui zao waliowazunguka, hivyo hawakuweza kujikinga dhidi ya adui zao.
And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Israel and he gave them in [the] hand of plunderers and they plundered them and he sold them in [the] hand of enemies their from round about and not they were able still to stand before enemies their.
15 Israeli walipokwenda kupigana, mkono wa Bwana ulikuwa dhidi yao kuwashinda, kama alivyowaapia. Na walikuwa katika shida kali.
In every - where they went out [the] hand of Yahweh it was on them for harm just as he had spoken Yahweh and just as he had sworn Yahweh to them and it was distress to them exceedingly.
16 Ndipo Bwana akawainua waamuzi, waliowaokoa katika mikono ya wale waliokuwa wakiba mali zao.
And he raised up Yahweh judges and they delivered them from [the] hand of plunderers their.
17 Hata hivyo hawakuwasikiliza waamuzi wao. Hawakuwa waaminifu kwa Bwana na wakajitoa wenyewe kama makahaba kwa miungu mingine na kuabudu. Waligeuka upesi na kuiacha njia waliyoishi baba zao-wale waliotii amri za Bwana-lakini wao wenyewe hawakufanya hivyo.
And also to judges their not they listened for they acted as prostitutes after gods other and they bowed down to them they turned aside quickly from the way which they had walked fathers their to obey [the] commandments of Yahweh not they did so.
18 Bwana aliinua waamuzi kwa ajili yao, Bwana akawasaidia waamuzi na kuwakomboa kutoka kwa mikono ya adui zao siku zote muamuzi aliishi. Bwana aliwahurumia walipougua kwa sababu ya wale waliowadhulumu na kuwasumbua.
And if he raised up Yahweh - for them judges and he was Yahweh with the judge and he delivered them from [the] hand of enemies their all [the] days of the judge for he had compassion Yahweh from groaning their because of [those who] oppressed them and [those who] oppressed them.
19 Lakini mwamuzi alipokufa, waligeuka na kufanya mambo ambayo yalikuwa mabaya zaidi kuliko baba zao walivyofanya. Wakaenda kuifuata miungu mingine kuitumikia na kuiabudu. Walikataa kuacha matendo yao yote mabaya au njia zao za ukaidi.
And it was - when died the judge they turned back and they acted corruptly more than fathers their by walking after gods other to serve them and to bow down to them not they let drop any of deeds their and any of way their stubborn.
20 Hasira ya Bwana iliwaka juu ya Israeli; akasema, Kwa sababu taifa hili limevunja masharti ya agano langu ambalo nililiweka kwa ajili ya baba zao-kwa sababu hawakuisikiliza sauti yangu.
And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Israel and he said because that they have transgressed the nation this covenant my which I commanded ancestors their and not they have listened to voice my.
21 Tangu sasa sitaliondoa mbele yao taifa lolote aliloliacha Yoshua baada ya kufa.
Also I not I will increase to dispossess anyone from before them any of the nations which he left Joshua and he died.
22 Nitafanya hivi ili kuwajaribu Israeli, ikiwa watafuata njia ya Bwana au sivyo, kama vile baba zao walivyoifuata.
So as to put to [the] test by them Israel ¿ [be] keeping [will] they [the] way of Yahweh by walking in them just as they kept [it] ancestors their or? not.
23 Ndiyo sababu Bwana aliwaacha mataifa hayo, wala hakuwafukuza haraka na kuwatia mikononi mwa Yoshua.
And he left Yahweh the nations these to not to dispossess them quickly and not he gave them in [the] hand of Joshua.
